There is a child in all of us, a person who believes in a glorious future.
I believe people who practice their beliefs in daily life are activists.
I have often felt bad that I am not great at any one thing. Like just a super super singer. Or the Gregory Hines of something
The state and the church seldom approve of anything I do. I don't need their approval. I don't aspire to the heterosexual nuclear family model
You tend to be afraid when someone seems foreign to you. But if you aren't careful, that can lead to bigotry.
I am very sad for men and women trapped in any relationship where there is cruelty, dominance, inequity. I long for the liberation of all people.
I would love to direct a movie, something I really like with a great cast. What a dream!
That made me feel good, not to go to a resort where outside the door is extreme poverty
The more confident one becomes, the less one needs all people to be the same.
I always try to honor a character by being honest and truthful to who they are, in spite of my own personality and beliefs.
I don't much care who is gay or straight or married or not. I mostly notice if they are brave enough to confront bigotry.
If one is desperate for love, I suggest looking at one's friends and family and see if love is all around. If not, get a new set of friends, a new family.
It is a full time job being honest one moment at a time, remembering to love, to honor, to respect. It is a practice, a discipline, worthy of every moment.
People in power need to control others in order to maintain power. One of the ways to do that is to take that which is threatening and demonize it.
